Abstract
Tomographic measurement of high harmonic generation in a cluster jet was demonstrated by programming the cluster density distribution with a laser machining technique. The growth of harmonic energy with the propagation of the pump pulse was resolved by scanning the end of the argon cluster distribution in the path of the pump pulse. A downstream shift of the position of rapid growth and a decrease of the slope with increasing backing pressure as results of changes in the phase-matching condition were observed, which explains the presence of an optimal backing pressure.
